At 15, Miles Ocampo hasn’t experienced having a boyfriend yet. But according to the teen star, she imagines that her ideal guy would most likely have the qualities of her “LUV U” on-screen partner Marco Gumabao.

However, Miles clarified that she’s not looking for a special someone right now because her focus is on her career and studies. “I’m already having a difficult time juggling those two. I don’t think I can fit a boyfriend in my schedule,” she said laughing.

Likewise, Marco’s priority is his work and studies.

Will Miles and Marco’s characters in “LUV U” decide the same way? On “LUV U” this Sunday, the couples will talk about their upcoming graduation and college plans.

Teen comedy series “LUV U” celebrates its first anniversary this February and according to one of its lead stars Miles Ocampo, she didn’t expect such warm acceptance from the viewers.

“I had my doubts at first because everything was new; from the concept to our love teams,” she said.

Majority of the main cast came from the kiddie gag show “Goin’ Bulilit” but according to them, the transition wasn’t that hard. “After I graduated from Goin Bulilit, LUV U was my next major show,” said Miles. “I adjusted well because in Goin Bulilit, we were kids portraying as adults but in LUV U, we act as ourselves,” she said.

Marco Gumabao, Miles’ partner in LUV U, is the only newcomer in show business.

“It’s really fun to think that a year has already passed and my bond with Miles is still going strong. We even landed roles as a couple in the teleserye Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw. I’m really thankful to this show because it hones our acting skills,” he said.

According to the cast, they have a lot of ‘kilig moments’ in store for their viewers as another year unwraps. During their romantic anniversary celebration, they will have American composer and singer David Pomeranz as guest. “He’ll sing during our JS Prom in LUV U, so don’t miss it,” said Kiray Celis.

This Sunday (February 3), Principal Spencer (Smokey Manaloto) will announce the JS Prom which will make everyone excited. Will Camille (Miles), April (Angeli), Whitney (Kiray), JB (Marco), Boom (CJ) and Rocky (Igi Boy) be paired with the love of their lives on this special occasion ?
